R v MK (Stratford Magistrates’ Court)

30/10/2024

Kitan Ososami’s client was charged with wilful obstruction of the highway following his involvement in a protest against the transportation of asylum seekers to the Bibby Stockholm.

The Crown opened its case and read a section 9 statement before applying to adjourn amid disclosure failings and witness non-attendance. The application was opposed by Kitan and the four co-defendants’ advocate. The District Judge refused the application, and the Crown offered no evidence.

Instructed by Zachary Whyte and Ruby Breward of Sperrin Law.
